Celsys

In January 2024, Celsys sponsored the Angoulême International Comics Festival, which was held in Angoulême, France.
 

The Angoulême International Comics Festival is held every year in Angoulême, France. With approximately 200,000 attendees, it is the largest bande dessinée and comic event in France. A variety of programs are held, including comic exhibitions, artist signings, contests, and more.

Celsys partnered with Mangas.io, the first subscription-based manga reading app in Europe, and had a booth for trying out Clip Studio Paint at the entrance of MANGA CITY, the area for manga. Clip Studio Paint was given away to visitors who wished to try it. 

During the event, French manga artist Jeronimo Cejudo (notable work: Ripper) held a live drawing using Clip Studio Paint and introduced techniques for drawing manga. Many fans of manga attended the venue, filling it to capacity.
